How Tom Beat Captain Najork and Hired His Sportsmen

An imaginative story about the value of play. Tom likes fooling around and is rather good at it, much to the annoyance of his Aunt Fidget Wonkham-Strong. So one day this fearsome lady decides to teach Tom a lesson and summons Captain Najork and his hired sportsmen to play womble, muck and sneedball. However, when it comes to fooling around, Tom doesn’t fool around, and his skills prove so polished that the results of the contest are completely unexpected. . . A very funny collaboration for children by Russell Hoban and Quentin Blake.
